[QUOTE=Strats-N-Vettes;1659187]HaY!....
..step out of "storming the beach" mode for a second and read: [B][SIZE="3"]"lost in the woods. How long you plan to wander lost that you wish to have 1000 rounds plus available? Barring the need for defense let's assume dinner requires 2 rounds... 100 rounds provides 50 meals... certainly enough time to find civilization somewhere in the area if it still exists. A field guide to edible plants and fungi for your locale would cost less and be even lighter than a pistol, unless snow cover or wildfire burnover is a concern. Meat is not all that's for dinner in a true survival scenario. |

It was just an example to describe what I was asking. I just wanted to know what weapon. |

I use Aguila .22 cal. 60 grain Subsonic from a semi-auto 24'' barrel Weatherby, and a Ruger M77 bolt. If your rifle will stabilize it, the round is very deadly.
60-grain Aguila Sniper Subsonic The Sniper Sub Sonic (SSS) is another odd round from Aguila. Rather than sporting a .22 bullet of in the typical 30 grain to 40 grain weight range, the SSS pushes a 60 grain projectile at a velocity in the 800 to 900 f/s range. In order to make the round cycle and chamber in a standard 22 LR action, the case had to be shortened significantly, to the point where the projectile itself accounts for more than half of the overall cartridge length. While the long, heavy, bullets could not be stabilized by the 1:16 twist rate of my Savage (they key-holed) I figured they might make an interesting cavity in the gel block. Indeed, the SSS bullet – which impacted the gel block at a velocity of 813 f/s – penetrated deeper and left a larger cavity than any of the other rounds fired during the range session. The bullet penetrated 11-inches of gel and tore a cavity that was 2-1/8-inches in diameter at its widest point. Since the bullet did not expand or deform in any noticeable way, I am assuming the comparatively large cavity was the result of the bullet tumbling, end over end, through the gel. It would be interesting to see how the Sniper Subsonic performs when fired from a rifle capable of stabilizing such a heavy bullet. |
